Like the earlier 1952-54 US Fords, the newer shape 1955-56 Fords were also assembled and sold in Australia. Unique to Australia was the V8 Mainline Coupe Utility, (the US front clip and the chassis from the US 2 door convertible), along with the V8 Customline Sedan and a few Customline wagons. When the US got a new shape in 1957, Australian built cars continued on with the 55-56 shape until 1959, with minor facelifts each year. The 1957 model featured a large V8 badge in the grille. The 1958/59 model used the 1955 Canadian Meteor grille with a four-pointed star and 1956 Meteor side trim, this, the final series, known as the Star model was available in two models, the Customline and the Fordomatic.
